In this episode we tackle this serious stuff:

* The Biden Administration’s ominous pattern of pretending a national security problem is not a national security problem until it’s so obvious it’s a national security problem and then they react haphazardly to bad effect.

* Multnomah County, Oregon reported homeless people continue to die there in ever-increasing numbers, and decriminalized drugs like meth and fentanyl are playing a big role. Actually, this one isn’t ominous: it’s a mature, full-blown crisis.

* An update on the twin ominous scandals plaguing Oregon’s state government: OLCC booze-swindling and Democratic Party of Oregon donation.

* Finally, a shockingly accurate and hilarious portrayal of a young man (first name “Bear,” middle name “Carabiner”) who has recently moved to Bend, Oregon.
